Same happened to me and I mistakenly let it proceed. It removed lots and lots of VITAL packages. As far as I can see, it acted as if it has installed the new updates, but it had not. Then it removed very imprortant things and it was very difficult to recover. I'd like to know how to "clear" the yum system so that yum-complete-transaction does not think it needs to "help" me any more. pj -- Paul E.
